Lieu Dit Grand Cru Case Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr, 2018

Pinot Gris Lieu-Dit Muehlforst AOC Alsace Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr
A rich and spicy wine with white pepper and nutty aromas. Initially sweet on the palate with nice fruit flavours of Galia melon, quince and pears, this is perfectly balanced by a good acidity which brings freshness and a citrus pithy finish. It has rich mid palate and oodles of lingering flavours. After a long and slow fermentation, the wine was matured on fine lees for four to six months.

Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Rosacker AOC Alsace Grand Cru Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr
Deep yellow in colour, the 2017 Gerwurztraminer has intense aromas of honeydew melon, honey, fresh fruits and lemongrass with a savoury edge. It is supple with fresh fruit flavours of lemon and grapefruit. This is a really classy wine with complexity, elegance and depth and a style which is unique to Alsace. 2017 was marked by devastating spring frosts which reduced yields dramatically, in particular for Gewurztraminer. The subsequent hot summer produced high quality concentrated wines.
